if a bug is flying around your car while you’re driving 60mph on the highway, is the bug flying at 60mph?

There is no universal objective speed. Speed is relative to the observer. If you’re in the car with the bug, its speed is not 60mph. Its just moving at whatever normal bug speed relative to you.
If someone was observing the entire moving car, then yes the bug would look like its moving at 60mph, though it would be facetious to say its *flying* at 60mph since the car is providing the motion.
